I birded from Fairport Harbor to Cleveland this morning and early afternoon.
Although waterbirds are a bit scarce due to the mild weather, some decent
birds were seen.

At Fairport Harbor there was a single LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL at the "mew
gull" marina.  I didn't see much else.  I didn't go to Headlands so I don't
know if there are any purple sandpipers around.

At Eastlake Power Plant there was a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL and 3 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS (2 adults and 1- 1st winter), and a PEREGRINE FALCON.

At Sim's Park I saw the birds mentioned by Nancy Anderson.  It was nice to
see all three scoters.

At East 72nd street there were lots of Bonaparte's gulls, but nothing was
found with them.  I did see a single adult THAYER'S GULL.  I stopped here as
it started to get windy and was raining fairly hard.
